	<h2>Recipe</h2>
	<p>
		I know I said I was going to cut back on ranch for health, but this recipe is really bothering me.
		I need to finish it, so I can put it behind me.
		I also dug up my mother&apos;s cake/frosting recipe I&apos;ve been wanting to veganise and metricise, but I don&apos;t want to start that project until I finish my current one.

	<h2>Drudgery</h2>

		My discussion post for the day:
	</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			I really enjoyed your explanation of what a renewable resource is.
			I don&apos;t think I put it into words well in my own post, but you hit it right on the nose with the notion of timescales.
			Fossil fuels can in fact be regenerated.
			In fact, I theorise that to get all this carbon out of the air that we&apos;ve already released, we&apos;re probably going to have to cut down massive amounts of trees and bury them forever or something, once we&apos;ve eliminated our use of fossil fuels, then replant over them to draw even more carbon out of the air.
			Essentially, the idea is to put the consumed fossil fuels (or their equivalent) back into the ground where they belong.
			However, the time it will take for buried materials to become fossil fuels is astronomical; it&apos;ll never happen in even an entire lifetime.

	<h2>No more shorts</h2>
	<p>
		After tomorrow, we&apos;re not going to be allowed to wear shorts at work until next month, when our regularly-scheduled shorts-wearing season begins.
		Apparently, the air conditioning is supposed to be fixed after tomorrow, so we &quot;won&apos;t need&quot; to wear shorts.
		I&apos;d rather have shorts than an air conditioner, but it&apos;s obviously not my decision to make.

	<h2>Pickle ranch</h2>
	<p>
		A long time ago, I used to use ranch dressing on sandwiches, where most people would instead use mayonnaise.
		I&apos;ve never liked mayonnaise though.
		It&apos;s disgusting.
		I was surprised to learn recently that it&apos;s one of the ingredients in ranch dressing!
		I had to stop using ranch dressing when I turned herbivore though.
		The milk and eggs in the dressing just weren&apos;t on the approved foods list.
		Now that I&apos;m learning to make plant-based ranch though, that&apos;s changed, and I started putting it on sandwiches again today.
	</p>
	<p>
		The dressing mixed with juice leaking out of a sliced pickle and gave me an idea.
		What about &quot;picke ranch&quot;?
		Once my recipe is complete, if I substitute the vinegar for picke juice, I should be able to get pickle-flavoured ranch dressing.
		I might need to tweak the ratios between ingredients to make it come out right, but I think it could turn out well.

<section id="card">
	<h2>Credit card bill</h2>
	<p>
		My credit card bill arrived today.
		I should pay that on Monday, so I can be done with that card forever.
		I&apos;ll likely be arguing with the bank again though.
		That won&apos;t be fun.
		They&apos;re going to tell me I can&apos;t claim my reward point bill credit in person, I&apos;m sure.
		They&apos;ll tell me it <strong>*must*</strong> be claimed online.
		They refuse to let me log in though!
		There&apos;s nothing I can do about their pseudosecurity practices that block me from my own account instead of blocking attackers.
	</p>
	<p>
		Oh, wait.
		I need <strong>*money*</strong> if I&apos;m going to pay them.
		I forgot.
		Oops.
		I&apos;ll need to pick up the cash on Tuesday, when I&apos;m running my weekly errands near the credit union, then I can stop at the bank to pay the bill on Wednesday if I have time.

<section id="music">
	<h2>New music</h2>
	<p>
		Someone sent me a link to some music today; music by an artist named <a href="http://nanostaat.de/en/home/">Nanostaat</a>.
		It sounds pretty good, and isn&apos;t like anything I&apos;ve got in my playlist already.
		I&apos;ll add more variety.
		The sad part is that this {$a['CC BY-SA']} music isn&apos;t available for sale.
		There&apos;s no clear way to support the artist.

	<h2>Minetest</h2>
	<p>
		I&apos;m thinking about cancelling work on <code>minequest</code> again.
		The formation of my tunnel-based empire depends on the use of the drop-rate-enhancing bonus abilities.
		There are nine abilities though, and only eight deck slots.
		I can&apos;t use them all, not after I write the anti-element-switch code that I&apos;m going to put in to help reduce the ability of players to basically use all the bonuses at once instead of choosing the ones they want and sticking with them.
		Having all the bonuses makes the game way too easy.
		No one has to actually choose which elements they want to specialise in.
		Maybe I should just leave that code out of the project though?
		It&apos;d fix my problem right now.
		Then again, I&apos;ve been growing disillusioned with <code>minequest</code> as of late.
		Simply ending the project could be the right decision.
